Fantasy Streaming Finder
The best streaming adds for the current week — ranked by Streaming Score, the product of per-game quality and games remaining. A guard with a Start Score of 75 and 3 games (225) outranks a guard with a score of 90 and 2 games (180). Both components are shown so the ranking is never a black box.

Streaming targets populate when the NBA season is active (October–June) and the ETL has computed Start Scores for upcoming games. Check back when the 2026–27 season tips off in October 2026.
How the Streaming Finder works
The Streaming Score formula:
Streaming Score = avg NBA Start Score × games remaining this week
avg Start Score is the mean of the player's NBA Start Score across all upcoming games in the current Monday–Sunday window. The Start Score is a 0–100 per-game rating based on projected minutes, per-36-minute efficiency, matchup quality, and availability — see the NBA Start Score for the full methodology.
games remaining is the count of games left to play in the current week, from today through Sunday. A player who played 3 games Mon–Wed with 1 game left on Sunday contributes only that 1 game to the score — the tool reflects real remaining value, not the full-week projection.
Why multiply? In NBA fantasy, a player on a 4-game team this week is worth up to twice as much as an identical player on a 2-game team. The multiplication is the only honest way to capture that asymmetry. The maximum theoretical Streaming Score is 400 (Start Score of 100 × 4 games). Typical top streamers in an active week score 150–300.
Eligibility. Players appear in the list only if they have at least one upcoming game this week, are not flagged as OUT in the ETL's availability gate, and have a projected role of at least 10 minutes in at least one game. This filters out DNP candidates without real roles.
B2B flag. If any of a player's upcoming games this week is a back-to-back second leg, a B2B label appears beside their name. A b2b game contributes a lower Start Score (the ETL applies a rest-risk multiplier to projected minutes), so the effect is already reflected in the Avg Score column — the flag is additional context, not a separate deduction.
Position tabs. G covers guards (PG/SG), F covers forwards (SF/PF), C covers centers — the same three buckets used across all NBA tools. Positions follow the ETL's normalization of balldontlie.io data and may differ from platform-specific labels.
Availability. This tool does not know who is available in your specific league. It ranks all eligible players — check your platform's waiver wire for actual availability before adding. Always verify injury status immediately before roster moves; the ETL runs daily but injury news can break between runs.
